Chapter 736: Vixen
Murong Jie thought of what she said before, although he thought it was absurd, but in fact he believed it more or less in his heart.
Zian looked at his face and asked, "I told you this question before, but you didn't ask too much, why do you want to know now?"
Murong Jie said in a deep voice: "Nowadays there is a story being told among the people, you may not have heard of it."
"What story?" Zi'an was taken aback.
Murong Jie walked back to the desk, took a booklet, and handed it to Zian, "This is the booklet from the prefect of Cizhou."
Zian picked it up suspiciously and opened it to read. After reading it, his expression changed drastically.
The prefect of Cizhou said that there were rumors about the princess regent in Cizhou, and this rumor was still rampant.
It is said that the current regent princess Xia Zi'an is a vixen, bringing disaster to the country and the people. Some eminent monks assert that if the princess does not die, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed in her hands.
The prefect of Cizhou wrote a letter asking the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter, so as to calm the panic of the people.
"I didn't want you to know about this, but I want to find a way to deal with such rumors, so I want to ask clearly." Murong Jie said softly.
"You just saw this excerpt?" Zian asked.
"Yes, I have never seen the booklet before it was presented to the emperor."
Zi'an smiled coldly, "Now I have a very high reputation in Dazhou, and I have made great achievements in Beimo. Now that I have a vixen come out, the people are afraid of ghosts and gods, so they must regard me as a monster and hate me far away."
"Don't worry too much, just tell me your origin again, I plan to find my ancestors."
"Old ancestor?" Zi'an was taken aback.
"Yes, the ancestors should come from the same place as you."
Zi'an's eyes were dark like ink, "Are you... sure?"
"Not sure, but it should be."
"But you don't know where the old ancestor went." Zi'an knew that this time he seemed to be targeting her, but he was actually targeting Lao Qi.
Lao Qi is still holding the title of Prince Regent, and the emperor has not withdrawn it, so no matter what, he is still in control.
When he returned from meritorious service, the emperor praised him and rewarded him with so many things, which has already demonstrated the emperor's tolerance and the grace of the heavenly family. It couldn't be more reasonable.
"You guessed who did it, didn't you?" Zi'an asked.
Murong Jie put the notebook aside, and said flatly: "I know."
Zian shook his head, "Is there no other way than to find the old ancestor?"
Murong Jie twirled the ring in his hand, lowered his eyes, but couldn't hide the light in his eyes, "There is a way."
He didn't say anything, but Zi'an knew that the solution he thought of would not be the solution in case he didn't leave.
At that time, there will be no family affection anymore.
Zi'an also felt unspeakable sadness and helplessness, more anger.
I thought that it would be more or less calm for a month or two, but I didn't expect that the emperor would make a move so soon, and this time, the move was so clean that no one would think it was him.
Moreover, it is the quickest and most effective way to assign her based on the theory of evildoers. The common people would rather believe in such things than believe in nothing.
"Tomorrow, I will go to Cizhou." Murong Jie said.
"Yeah!" Zian raised his face, his eyes were cold, "I'm sorry."
"Fool!" Murong Jie stretched out his hand to caress her face, and smiled softly, "I don't feel comfortable in my free time."
Zian put her head on his chest, feeling extremely sad, but in fact, she knew that he longed for such a day.
But, when will this evil wind stop?
"One more thing, the current prefect of the governor is Ling Li's father." Murong Jie said flatly.
Zi'an was slightly taken aback, is that the cheater who married a new wife and forgot the old one?
"You see if you want to let Lingli know about this matter." Murong Jie continued.
Zi An asked, "How did you know about Ling Li?" She only knew about this matter when Ling Li told her.
"When Lingli came to you, I asked Lao Jiu to find out the origin of Lingli. If she was not credible, how could she stay by your side?"
His big hands surrounded her small hands, and Zi'an felt warm in his heart.
He has always been so cautious about her affairs, lest something happen to her.
But this evil wind is hard to guard against after all.
"Want to know about my previous life?" Zi'an asked.
Murong Jie tapped her forehead, "Is there anything else you didn't say?"
"What I said before is just a rough idea. What I want to tell you is what I have experienced."
Maybe it's the homesickness, or maybe it's the disgust of the current life, but she especially misses the hardships and dangers even when she was on a mission.
The couple talked all night, Murong Jie barely slept, and took Ni Rong out early in the morning.
At noon, Zian went to tidy up the study, and the pile of papers were piled up on the desk. She knew that she shouldn't ask about the affairs of the court, but she couldn't help opening a few papers to read.
These are the papers of the states to reflect the public opinion, they are routine papers, and many of them are written to the imperial court, asking the emperor to praise and commend Murong Jie.
All the excerpts have red vermilion approval, which shows that the emperor has read them all.
He could have not sent them, but he still sent these papers, together with the copy of the prefect of the state, and that copy did not have Zhu Zhu's approval, which meant that the emperor had expressed his attitude towards Murong Jie, and he did not believe it.
hypocritical!
Zi'an sneered!
She carefully read the papers of the prefect of Cizhou, which even stated clearly about her affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that she had a sudden change of temper and caused harm to her family.
The downfall of the Prime Minister's Mansion was during the reign of the Prince Regent, so the common people rumored that the King Regent was instigated by a fox spirit to frame the loyal and good ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At the end of the excerpt, it listed Prime Minister Xia's achievements during his tenure.
For a dead person, even if his charges are overturned, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that the dead person can become a sharp blade.
Zi'an felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
The mother is still in the palace, and now she only hopes that Prince An can find a way to rescue her back.
Lao Qi's Same Life Gu also needs to be healed as soon as possible.
The medicine is there, but the blood is bad.
Sun Fang'er had left blood before, but it could only be used once, that is to say, she had to discuss it with her anyway.
Thinking of this, she hurried to the freezer and took out the bottle that Sun Fang'er left behind.
When she opened the lid, she smelled a bad smell. She was startled, and when she looked carefully, she saw many worms crawling out from the edge of the bottle. The worms were red, about the size of a toothpick, linear, and there were more than a dozen of them.
Zian was shocked, how could Sun Fang'er's blood turn into bugs?
Zian knew that she might not be able to meet Sun Fang'er when she went to the palace to look for her, but she had to try anyway.
Let Xiaosun and Mammy prepare, she will enter the palace immediately.
After entering the palace, she went directly to Xiwei Palace.
The emperor is still in the imperial study and hasn't returned to the palace yet, so Zi'an sent someone to inform him.
However, people in the palace said that Sun Fang'er went to the imperial study to serve the emperor, but was not in Xiwei Palace.
Where is Zi'an willing to go? He said: "In that case, I will stay here and wait for her."
